Itrader can and will reduce scamming. I think that this could solve many of sythe's problems and offer a way to prove you have done a trade. Here is the vB.org link http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=102965

Description:
iTrader for vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x has evolved from Trader Ratings for vB 3.0.x which evolved from Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System for vB 2.x. This is a rating system for when members buy / sell / trade items from each other (presumably on a FS section of your forum). It is somewhat based on the honor system since there is no automatic way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. iTrader came about because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well.

Features:

* Rate another member: Positive / Negative / Neutral
* Specify in each transaction: Buyer, Seller, or Trade
* Leave multiple comments about the deal
* Dates & IPs are all recorded to prevent abuse
* Specify a thread URL to the deal
* Advanced URL checking
* Display ratings over time
* Filter based on Buyer/Seller/Trade/or feedback they left for others
* Users can edit/delete ratings left for others (time based limitation)
* iTrader Admins can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
* PM notification when new rating or comment is left
* Per-usergroup permissions
* Lots of admin controllable options


Installation / Upgrade Info:
Read the included readme file, it explains everything.

Standard Disclaimer:
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!!

Donations:
This add-on will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. The link is on the right under "The Developer" info.

Future Additions:

* AdminCP & ModCP Menus for searching IPs, stats, mass-prune, etc
* Better navigation across pages
* Better error descriptions
* Adjust action icons some
* Page to link two ratings manually
* AdminCP Option to choose how ratings are ordered (asc or desc by time)
* AJAX editing

Excellent idea! I have this on my own vBulletin site and none of my members got scammed nor hacked in 2 months of my site being up! As much as I love this idea, it's some what not the best idea for Sythe.Org because lots of people have many vouches some over 50 and they're not going to contact everyone to vouch for them through the iTrader and so on, =/.

I have it too, but i think that sythe could eventually lead into this... leave it the way it is but just have a new way available. I think any new way is going to run into a problem like this. I still think this is much better than the way we have now.
 
I can't agree with you anymore but this is a pretty bad and late time to point it out. I highly doubt that the staff will take this into consideration seeing as Sythe.Org has like 112,00 Members they wouldn't want to cause a masacure with everyone vouching for each other through the iTrader system.

P.S. - Less then half the registered members on Sythe.Org are active but, it's still a higher amount then Fagex.Net and other popular site, =)!
 
this is a really good idea and it will reduce scamming be alot!
 
I suppose it could add to overall safeness but it really isn't Sythe's style. It could also lead to a surplus of lies to get someone in trouble or to deter trades from them.

True, this could be another reason to not get an iTrader system, =/.

good idea. except ban evaders might use this to save their account... and theres alot of people on sythe
 
RSF implemented this, and it worked out quite well. However, given the...differences...between the RSF and Sythe userbases, I do not think it should be implemented.

Are you aware that Sythe.org has over 100,000 members, and has been around for 3 years?

Yes, I have because I can always check on Whois through GoDaddy.Com or many other hosting and domain sites, =)! Lol.

While I appreciate this suggestion and think it's not a bad idea, I agree that it probably won't work on Sythe.org...
 
I think it should be given a shot, if not I guess not.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work :/

iTrader is buggy
 
Any system will get abused, just look at the vouch shit. Atleast this way it's harder to abuse...
